TIL about the gusmanb logic analyzer:
https://github.com/gusmanb/logicanalyzer
Looking pretty neat. However: It would be nice if it could be updated to both the RP2350(b), since the errata that were blocking its usage have been eliminated, afaik. And second, it would be nice if they could use the MCU alone, plus supporting power supply etc. This way you could order one directly from JLC et al. PCB would probably be much more compact, too.

New video: The C64 goes Internet!

Using a very cheap ESP8266 controller and a simple PCB, we can lift the C64 into the modern era of having internet access. We evaluate two different WiFi modem firmware solutions, and I will show you how to connect to a BBS with gateways to modern websites. You can now read the news, look up Wikipedia, and most importantly: download software for your C64!
